‘Still Life’, A Short Film About Creativity And Everyday Moments

‘Still Life’ is a short film by filmmakers Charles Frank and Jake Oleson that seeks to “find connection between creativity and everyday moments”.

Captured against the backdrop of New York City, it was shot ‘guerrilla style’ with a Phantom Miro and Red Epic camera.

“What is the importance of a moment? Is it negligible, fleeting as the time itself? Is it heavy, bearing down on us in succession like tiny time anvils? Do moments hold any importance at all, in an age where you are likely reading this post during a brief lunch break or in transit to somewhere else? Five months ago, we wanted to try tackling some of these questions. We also wanted to capture something beautiful and have some fun. So we spent 48 hours in NYC and made a film.”
